The Apex Predator Cat-like Shark of Gura the Shark is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Amashiro Natsuki with an even hand, and remarkable for its burgeoning shark population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 7.828 billion Chumbuds enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlantis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.

The thriving Chumbud economy, worth 480 trillion gawrs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 61,358 gawrs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 217,187 per year while the poor average 12,515, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Employers are never quite sure if graduates' qualifications have any merit or meaning, the government is spending millions on lawyers' fees trying to get Amashiro Natsuki off a murder charge, Gura the Shark has designated Atlantis as its capital city, and Amashiro Natsuki has just been declared ruler of Gura the Shark in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Gura the Shark's national animal is the shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Gura the Shark is ranked 247,699^th in the world and 44^th in Hololive for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring zero on the Gilded Widget Scale.
